Kayle vs Lux Matchup Summary

The Kayle vs Lux matchup is a decisive matchup in League of Legends ranked play. Based on 23 recent matches analyzed, Kayle wins with a 56.5% win rate compared to Lux's 43.5%, giving Kayle a 13.0 percentage point advantage. Kayle dominates at every stage — from early laning through late game team fights. This consistent advantage makes it difficult for Lux players to find favorable windows, so team-dependent strategies and avoiding solo confrontations are essential. The most significant statistical gap is in crowd control, where Lux leads by 1.2s CC/min — a difference that heavily influences the outcome of trades and skirmishes. Kayle players can confidently pick into Lux and play aggressively from level 1. Look to establish lane dominance early through favorable trades and zone Lux away from CS whenever possible. Understanding these matchup dynamics is essential for champion select decisions and in-game strategy when facing this lane opponent.

1.4Lux
Lux brings significantly more crowd control than Kayle, with 1.2 more seconds of CC per minute.

Sustain
733Kayle
484Lux
